Title of the Activity: Falling for Gravity
Activity no: 1
Learning Competencies:
Use Newton’s law of gravitation to infer gravitational force, weight, and acceleration due to
gravity. Determine the net gravitational force on a mass given a system of point masses.
Discuss the physical significance of gravitational field (STEM_GP12G-IIb-16-18)
Direction:
Write down every quantity each problem gives you and which quantity you are trying to
find. Find the equation to relate these quantities and show your complete solution. Use
additional sheets of paper if necessary.
Materials:
Worksheet
pen scientific calculator

Activity
Many stars belong to systems of two or more stars held together by their mutual
gravitational attraction. Figure 1 shows a three-star system at an instant when the stars
are at the vertices of a 450 right triangle. Find the total gravitational force exerted on the
small star by the two large ones.

Title of the Activity: Tidal Power
Activity no: 3
Learning Competencies:
Use Newton’s law of gravitation to infer gravitational force, weight, and acceleration due to
gravity. Determine the net gravitational force on a mass given a system of point masses.
Discuss the physical significance of gravitational field (STEM_GP12G-IIb-16-18).
Direction:
Newton’s gravity makes a lot of things easy to explain like tides. It is the moon’s gravity that
pulls the seawater and causes high tides on the side of the earth facing the moon and low
tide on the other side facing away from it. By turning to ocean tides we can find a source of
energy that will not deplete our existing non-renewable resources.
Let us say that you were a project engineer of an energy company sent to a barangay which
is a potential tidal energy site. Your task is to create a poster describing how the energy of
ocean tides work as well as the positive effects of tidal power. How will your poster look
like? Create your poster using a separate sheet of paper

Worksheet
pencil art materials (colored pens, crayons etc)
